This paper explores geothermal energy use as a renewable energy option in Uganda. It is discussed in pursuit of sustainable development. Uganda has been undergoing fast economic growth particularly as demonstrated by its resilience against the effects of COVID-19, it must develop its renewable energy resources to match this growth. In this paper, we present the findings of an exploratory research to ascertain potential of geothermal energy for Uganda of 1500MW (3.6% of overall energy potential). The prospects and challenges of geothermal energy development are discussed. In concluding remarks good policies with strong political will, manpower training, financial support for research, and financial and subsidy incentive programs.
